A wealth of Summer Schools

I have been updating our Classical Calendar with Summer Schools and other Classical events. June begins to get busy. August is well peppered with dates. July is as crowded as can be.

In pride of place among these Summer Schools is the grand-daddy of them all, the ever fresh ARLT Summer School. I say the grand-daddy of them all, because this Summer School will soon be coming up to its centenary. There's been discussion about whether to count from the very first Summer School held by Rouse, or from the foundation of the ARLT a little later. Watch this space.

To see the Summer Schools for pupils/students in a list rather than on a calendar, try the JACT site.

I notice that the eight-week intensive course in Cork University is advertised as good for teachers whose schools are intending to introduce, or re-introduce Latin or Greek into the timetable. That's something that might be more widely advertised.
